Rho and I got great seats for a DC United game in 2000. It had poured all day, and only let up shortly after the game started. It was a good mix of people...two guys walking around RFK, beating a drum...the Screaming Eagles and Barra Brava fan clubs making their retractable sections bounce up and down all night...the various fights that almost broke out among fans...it was a blast.
RFK is a toilet now, and I'll feel bad if the Expos move to DC and have to play their first few seasons there. But it gives the team a bit of character...and of course, RFK is incredibly easy to get to.
